The healing hospital's paradigm has three components with a major focus on the patient's environment. The three major components are a culture of loving care, a healing physical environment, and an integrated work design and technology. Health care providers at healing hospitals support the physical and emotional well being of the patients, and not just focusing on curing their diseases. Healing hospitals ensure patients are comfortable and mentally and physically prepared for their treatment plan. Health care providers at these facilities have to be competent in the patient's medical needs and the ability to deliver loving to the patients. It is important for workers to go the extra mile for their patients, and to help with their spiritual needs.

The second component of healing hospitals is a healing physical environment. “For a hospital to promote healing, it needs to provide a quiet environment that allows patients to sleep. Patient's bodies perform the most repair during sleep,” (Eberst, 2008, page 77). This is a very important key component of the paradigm and it is important to maintain a quiet, healing environment. Healing hospitals incorporate many different techniques to maintain a noise-free healthy, healing environment. For example, the hospitals do not use overhead paging, nurses carry personal phones for direct contact. Also, some cleaning machines and certain equipment have special silencer to avoid distraction and extra noise. It is evident that a good healing environment is key to patient's recovery. The healing paradigm also suggests that the hospitals provide an environment that promotes patient satisfaction levels, decent meals and quality entertainment. A good healing physical environment also enables patients and their families to fulfill their...

Introduction
Healinghospital paradigm is a model in health care provision that focuses on recovery and return to wellness of the whole body. This is contrary to the cure model used in traditional hospital which focuses on eradicating the disease. Healing health care focus of the need of the entire being rather than focusing on curing the physical ailment. This concept advances the idea that apart from addressing the physical needs, the healing process should also address the patient’s emotional and spiritual needs. The healinghospital paradigm is made up of three major components; these include; a culture of loving care, a healing physical environment and an integrated work design and technology. However, there are several challenges experienced when attempting to implement the healing environment in the traditional hospital environment. This paper will discuss the components of healinghospitals and the challenges involved in implementing the healing environment.

Grand Canyon University: HLT-310V
Healinghospitals should be the focus of America’s healthcare system instead they are on the decline. The typical hospital focuses on getting the patients in and getting them out as quickly as possible to save money and make a profit. They do not focus on providing a healing environment that is patient and family friendly, unlike healinghospitals. The lack of a friendly, serine environment may cause stress on the patients and families that feel they or their loved one still needs medical attention and healing. Having a healinghospital that helps patients heal physically and spiritually is key to improving the patients well being. Using a healinghospital as opposed to a typical hospital would be a benefit to the patients and their families since they focus not only on the patients spiritual healing, but their physical healing as well. In this paper I will discuss, the component of healinghospitals and their relationship to spirituality, the challenges of creating a healing environment, and a biblical passage that supports the concept of a healing...

HealingHospital: A Daring Paradigm
The healthcare industry is an environment that is constantly going through changes. With new advancements in technology, newly discovered diseases, drug protocols, and the never ending revolving door of ill patients hospitals are always looking for ways to improve the care provided to individuals. In past years the industry has moved away from bedside care to machines that can do most of the monitors, electronic medical records, and robotic simulations that can perform small surgeries. Though these inventions are efficient and useful to healthcare professionals, that direct patient care has been somewhat ‘lost’. Recently, research has demonstrated that healthcare organizations with a healing type of environment is much more beneficial to patients and their support system. In this paper the author will discuss the concept of a healinghospital/environment, how technology can interfere with this concept, and the necessary design a hospital will need in order to provide a holistic approach with an emphasis on spirituality.

This new focus is on patient care and not just the disease process. Healthcare organizations are now recognizing that the latest research demonstrates the benefits of a healing environment. Healthcare providers need to reach people on a personal level. The concept of the healinghospital paradigm research reveals that specific design changes in healthcare environments can reduce patient stress and alleviate the consequences of that stress.

The HealingHospital – A Daring Paradigm 2
The medical community has reached a very important nexus in terms of providing care to the injured and infirm that find themselves in ahospital environment. The so-called HealingHospital represents a radical shift from the traditional view of the role and function of a hospital or clinic in making an individual well. A contemporary hospital, when admitting a patient, will focus will laser intensity on what is “wrong” with them. That is to say, the entirety of their treatment is aimed at eradicating that which is ailing them. This is model that has served the medical community since the advent of modern health care. There a recent school of thought, however, that argues that it is no longer sufficient to simply treat a disease or injury. The so-named HealingHospital Paradigm posits that true medicine ought to focus beyond the ailment and adopt a more “holistic” approach to making a person well.
According to Carolyn Ross, M.D., healing is defined not just as a removal of disease but as a return to “wholeness” (Ross 2011)....

...The challenges of creating a healing environment and the components of healinghospitals
When a new hospital is being planned and built, the main focus is based on the number of beds it will house, the location of each department, how many it will employ and the main item is cost of the project but a healing environment is based on helping the patients feel safe, comfortable and stress free. Thesehospitals will deal with components or needs which include love, meaning in life, forgiveness and hope. Patients and families can feel less stressed if they know they are taken care of by dedicated employees and be assured that their hospital encounter will be one of smiles, loving service, and competent clinical care. Care should involve a holistic approach addressing the patients and family cognitive, emotional and spiritual concerns and not only based on the physical aspects. Creating a healing environment does involve some challenges and overcoming those barriers is essential to the growth of the hospital. The HealingHospital concept embraces three key components discussed below;
The healing physical environment: A calm and supportive environment can help promote a healing process that a patient requires during their hospital stay. Hospitals need to be more than...
